PvP Range

[Amuk]

In the end dipshits let themselves be griefed. I guarentee you the people I'm going to play with will shit on groups that are 5-8 levels higher. I hate to say it but even though it's a ffa server you shouldn't be looking at it like a solo pvp server, it's just ffa so people that dislike each other arn't hardcoded into teams - this server will be teams in the form of guilds you can guarentee pre formed guilds already exist and have strategies for how they will exp/control content.

If someone 8 levels higher than you is in the zone be aware, and be ready to retreat - that's a much better alternative to having a group be out of range to other groups camping shit you're capable of holding. And 100x better than being out of range of the 1-2 duo people camping shit that you could win with numbers.

Imo you can't really judge the 8 lvl range fairly due to the resist system being so borked on beta. Would need the next patch to be in place to evaluate it fairly.

He has a point with this.

The level range will need to be tested with a proper resist system in place, first.

Conjecture without resists working is worthless.

I have a feeling none of these things are getting changed so I'll just have the I told you so warm and ready. Can we start implementing balances to things on the blue server now? I mean there's lots of things that SHOULD be changed to make things better. For instance, making mobs immune to other players when they don't have first to engage. I think that would be a good start.

I think you should stop posting.

Lol just saying, for a "classic" implementation we're sure making a lot of "tweaks" and "considerations".

If this isn't a good troll, you should be banned.

Eq is about choice. Limiting options is wrong.

People like Nirgom being able to vote is ruining everything.

I know Nirgon, you are RUINING IT!!!!

...yeah.

He has a point though. Classic != Classic + Rogean's list of personal gripes. I mean, whatever, its your server you can do what you want. But I think you'd please a lot more people if you just committed to an existing ruleset (whether Sullon, VZ/TZ, or Rallos) and ran with it.

FWIW (which is probably nothing since Rogean is clearly going to do wtfever he wants), I favor the Sullon ruleset. If you adamantly oppose hardcoded teams, I still favor the Sullon ruleset: FFA no level limit to engage, full rezzable xp loss +/- 5, small boost to xp earned (IIRC it was 20%?) to offset the impact of xp loss in pvp.

Why not just keep it simple stupid....

1.5 x your level PvP just like your XP....if you can XP together, you can PvP together. This would keep a low spread at the low levels and expand the range at higher/raid zones. There is a 5 level range until what 10 at which point a 10 can only be hit from a level 15 after which it increases exponentially.

At level 18 is where it goes beyond the +8 difference to be +9 to be hit by a 27. Yes your going to get WTF PWND but at this level you should be grouping and at least have a chance.

Even when you reach 30 a +15 to be Pwnd by a 45 can happen but you won't need FFA for any Zone.

Flame on

As a side note I also don't think you should be able to Buff anyone not in your level range. But thats just me.

I would be happier if under 40 its a 4+ or - but after that full pvp with no range. obviously not able to pk lower than 40.
